Cock Beck
Sunday 20th August 2017
Footbridge 'Old London Road'
Cock Beck is the stream made famous by the Battle Of Towton, where bodies dammed the waters, & they flowed red
See map; https://www.britishbattles.com/wars-of-the-roses/battle-of-towton/

That is; the pre TurnPike route, so pre 1740s), from Tadcaster, to meet up with the roads to Wakefield (at Towton), and the highways to Sherburn-in-Elmet, Pontefract, and eventually London
The stone abutments, are believed to be part of the 'Coach bridge'
'C B' is the squiggly line above 'Old London Road' (in red)

Not entirely sure if this counts??
Washing the bike, & myself, in the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, at Dowley Gap, by the 'Fishermans Inn'
This was the 2007 http://www.bingleyharriers.co.uk/events/harriers-vs-cyclists/ (there's a film clip of the race there)
Old Club colours, different colours even then (mine were from the 90's)

I'm very impressed that you toured on a Twenty. I see a few practical mods but can't tell what has been done to the gearing, if anything?
Are you on the Raleigh Twenty Facebook group? I tend not to post much as whilst I have a couple of BSA Twenties, they are, at present, dormant.

Yep, I lurk on the Twenty FB group. While since I posted, as I've not really done much work with it over the last couple of years. The dropouts are spread to 135mm and I'm running a 8 speed Nexus hub. It doesn't quite have the range I'd want for touring, but mostly it's fine.

Bridge at ribchester over the ribble

This could be a record, could have posted in the

Bike in front of a wall thread
Bike in front of a bridge thread
And trig point and other landmarks

Although I may be wildly wrong of course

Edit: and of course the show us your genesis thread

Now we need a picture of a Ribble, next to the Ribble

You enjoyed The Bridge so much that you cycled out there to take a photo of your bike in front of it (Øresund Bridge)?

My Cannondale CAAD5 on a footbridge over the River Wharfe in front of Cavendish Pavilion ...

My Cannondale CAADX next to a lock and bridge on the Rochdale Canal ...

My cousin's Cannondale with Loch Etive behind it ... (he happened to have one the same size as mine so I borrowed it for my holiday - saved taking mine all the way to the Highlands!)
